The 2005 draft is another that may turn out to be more famous for who it allowed the Tigers to get rather than who it eventually netted the Detroiters. Cameron Maybin, Chris Robinson and Kevin Whelan were the Tigers’ first three picks and they were involved in trades that brought Miguel Cabrera, Neifi Perez and [...]

The core of this Marlins team has been together since 2006 and while they've put together a winning record in two of the four seasons, they still have not created any substantial attendance numbers. While there is hope with the new stadium, that doesn't financially help the organization now.

Remember when the Cardinals traded for Scott Rolen? Or when the Jays gave up Michael Young for Esteban Loaiza? You probably remember the deal that sent Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to the Tigers. Those three deals are just a few of the decade's most significant moves. Hundreds of trades later, the 2000s are just months from completion. This means it's time to look back at some of the trades...

by David Whitley The Nobel Prize Committee caused a stink last week when it awarded the Heisman Trophy to Barack Obama. The president admitted he was a bit surprised, but then again he wasn't sure why those kooky Norwegians also gave him a Peace Prize. I think they see how Obama's diplomatic skills can quell some of our most bitter disputes. Israel-Palestinians. Iran-Sanity. Braylon-LeBron. Bobby...
